On November 3, 2009, Commander Hugo Chávez reaffirmed that members of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) were deployed throughout the country to combat drug trafficking and smuggling mafias like never before.

“Our Bolivarian military personnel who are deployed throughout the country, the National Guard hitting drug trafficking, like never before, see history because, by hitting smuggling, the theft of gasoline, the smuggling of food on those long borders, destroying fields together with the Army and the Air Force, and the Navy , the fields that remained, because there is no longer a field, and the one we detect is destroyed. We have destroyed I don't know how many laboratories, seized farms, herds, properties, planes, yachts,” he said from the Miraflores Palace.

For this reason, I was still questioning those who were still trying to link Venezuela to drug trafficking, when it had been demonstrated that 80% of the drugs come out through the Colombian Pacific, supported by the United States.

“There you have the American aircraft carriers (...) What the Yankees do is promote drug trafficking and take care of it,” he said, referring to the fact that the accusations against Venezuela were only meant to threaten the peace of our country.

“A real threat is coming from the United States, there it is and we are starting a great internal and external counteroffensive politically, socially, economically, culturally, well, mind you, and important results, important results,” he warned.
